Senators Warner and Kaine of Virginia, my senators, hosted a live call today with Q&A. I logged in while a woman was saying why she didn't understand why federal workers are whining about layoffs when it happens all the time in the private sector. And what about audits? 1/2

I saw VP Harris's motorcade today and it broke my heart. Things could have turned out differently, but they didn't. Dreading the next four years.

My XOXO talk is online. It's a v. personal look at what it was like to cover the pandemic, live through it, be broken by it, and heal from it. I talk about my approach to journalism, a 7-part code for being a public figure, why I left the Atlantic, and a lot more. xoxofest.com/2024/videos/...

Have not forgotten his "makers vs takers" comment and the empty apology "Sorry you saw me say it on video." I grew up poor and being poor is not a crime. Ryan was an architect of the 2018 tax cut for the rich who have gotten richer. Not moderate, not someone to look to for advice. wapo.st/42Q0aPE

wapo.st/48nXRV6. Senator Lucas fights for NOVA while Justin Wilson, Alexandria City Council and state senators Torian and Surovell support a subsidy for billionaires. Not NIMBY. There were existing plans to develop Potomac Yard for mixed use to include housing, retail, and office space #StoptheArena
